GPR Webinar | Complex Case Series - Multidisciplinary algorithm for the troubleshooting of prosthesis-related complications

The aim of this GPR webinar is to present a systematic multidisciplinary troubleshooting algorithm to help standardize and facilitate long-term voice prosthesis management in patients who have had a laryngectomy, reducing the number out-patient appointments and the subsequent burden to the healthcare professionals, as well as reducing costs to the healthcare system.

Learning objectives

• Understand Prosthesis-Related Complications
• Familiarity with Late Complications Management
• Application of Multidisciplinary Algorithm
• Standardization of Outpatient Management
• Optimization of Long-Term Care
• Enhanced Clinician Efficiency
• Promotion of Rehabilitation with Voice Prosthesis
